I've had great success with them. I use the Tyvek bags or plastic bags to protect the contents and use tape as they do seem a bit easy to tear. No problems at all.

I had some boxes that must have gotten way too hot at the PO...when I tried to pull the tape off, the GLUE came with it...had 20 boxes like that...luckily I have double stick tape, but that stuff is spendy to be wasting on the PO boxes that should already have it..sigh

If you are really, really lucky, you can score a role of PM tape from your post office. Especially if you go to a lot of different PO's, whenever you mail a PM package, mention how much you miss getting the tape free from the website, and how you send a LOT of PM packages. Once in a while you will get a sympathetic clerk who will give you an extra roll.

Now don't get all up on me because the PO is going broke!! and I am making them go broke faster!! just sayin.
